I'm making the sharp cheddar from Artisan Vegan Cheese and it's going to take ages and I want to just eat the goop with a spoon but I shouldn't because it's cashew paste and fat and also I should wait until it's actually cheese.

But I want it noooooow.

So instead I'm dancing around on my lonesome to French psychodelic pop.

Blech. I was halfway through a (small) container of kimchi when I noticed that it had anchovy extract in it. I don't know how this escaped my notice. I read the ingredients of every kimchi in the store and this looked like the only one that was vegan, but I guess I didn't read carefully enough. I've tossed the rest and now I'll have to take out the garbage. (Kimchi=stinky)

It also had pine nuts in it, which I've never seen in kimchi. How pissed will I be if not only did I accidentally ingest fish, but I end up getting pine mouth from this?

I am wearing sunglasses indoors at my desk because I am forking sick of the overilluminating fluorescent lights giving me headaches and major eye strain. I don't care if I look ridiculous, maybe this will get them to fix it since everyone is complaining.

VeganMoFo broke my blog reader. I had them all carefully contained in a folder that I was going through when I got chance, and moving blogs I liked into my main reader. Then I just deleted the folder with the ones I didn't want. Except somehow it didn't delete it but threw back all these hundreds of blogs in with my main reader and I'll never get the time to sort them out again. DAMN.

Hee, hee. I was just in the supermarket and this rather well-to-do older lady (maybe in her '60s? Very well dressed and 'posh' looking) was standing behind me in the queue. I could see out of the corner of my eye she was looking at me with a curious expression on her face and then she tapped me on the shoulder and said, "daaaahling! I must, must say something. I am absolutely FASCINATED by your ears! (I have stretched lobes and had my hair tied back) They are just CAPTIVATING! Just FAAAAABULOUS. I'm in love! Tell me all about how this came about!" So hilarious/adorable.

I love that so much interrobang?!

I wish I could work from home allatimes. I don't know how to go about making that a reality though. I think everyone in my dept would prefer to work from home.

I'm currently trying to carve this pumpkin to look like Casper, as requested by its owner. I can draw the face just fine but as soon as I put the knife to the pumpkin all hell broke loose. Casper looks like a winking pervy old man.

I'm going through a major guilt thing. I'm feeling plain awful for not becoming vegan sooner. It was pure selfish of me. Urgh.

I wouldn't worry about it. What's done is done, you can't change it. I could beat myself for going back to being omni while hiking after 7.5 years of being vegetarian but I don't. Instead i focus on the fact that I did make the amazing choice to go vegan and that I did it at all and am sticking with it is all that matters.

Aww! I pretty much spend grocery trips walking by people repeating in my head "please don't talk to me," but I might not if they were that adorable.

It's usually just rednecks asking if things hurt or how much they cost...

@daisychain- Better now than never. People come to different things at different points in their lives. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Casper came out better than I thought. He no longer looks pervy.

Ocht! Don't be guilt-tripping yourself over that! You're vegan now, aren't you? Most of us here were not born/brought up vegan and, therefore, most of us here came to veganism in our own time. Whether we were 15, 20, 27, 32, 43 or whatthehellever. Don't feel guilty! What matters is the now and not the why and what-could-have-beens!
